My daughter is nearly 8 months old and has had severe reflux since birth. This is now being controlled by lots of medication and solids have certainly helped. However, my dd refuses to take any liquids from anything but my boobs! I am offering her 3 feeds during the day but she rarely has anything much. She would rather wait until the night and drink her milk then! I'm knackered and desperate to sleep for more than a few hours at a time. I know that she has associated feeding with pain because of the reflux and I think this is why she doesn't feed well in the day. At night, she is sleepy so just gets on with it. She is great with solids although I can't tempt her with breakfast most of the time (milk or solids). Any advice on getting her to take a bottle would be appreciated - she doesn't even attempt to suck, just rolls the teat around. And how do I get her to stop feeding at night? HELP!!!
